Tiny is a black Great Dane and mixed breed living in Montgomery, AL. She’s an adult female, about 2 and a half years old, and has been spayed. Tiny has received all her vaccinations. True to her breed, she has an extra-large frame—so she needs plenty of space and a home ready for a big companion.

About Tiny

Despite her name, Tiny is anything but small. This two-year-old Great Dane mix ended up on a busy Montgomery street before landing safely at the shelter. She was quite thin when found, but with steady meals and care, she’s bounced back in good health. Her vaccinations are up to date, she’s heartworm negative, microchipped, and spayed—ready for her next chapter. Tiny excelled during her behavior test, mostly uninterested in other dogs, and her recent foster stay revealed she does well with kids and enjoys other dogs. However, Tiny doesn’t get along with cats or small animals like ducks or chickens, so she’s best matched to a home without them and not suited for a farm life. Because of her great size, potential adopters who rent should check any pet size restrictions before applying. Tiny’s got all the makings of a loyal family dog for the right home.
